Creating Build Configuration via REST in Teamcity

Is it possible to create a new build configuration for an existing project via REST api(POST method) in Teamcity?
If so, how to create? (some guidelines )

Thanks

It's for sure possible on 8.x, haven't the need to care about early versions.

Here's a really simple python snippet that will copy an existing build config into a given project using this as a guide http://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/TCD8/REST+API#RESTAPI-BuildConfigurationAndTemplateSettings.

import requests

xml =  """<newBuildTypeDescription name='NewBuildConfigName'
          sourceBuildTypeLocator='ExistingBuildConfigNameThatYouWantToCopy'
          copyAllAssociatedSettings='true' shareVCSRoots='false'/>
       """
headers = {'Content-Type': 'application/xml'} # set what your server accepts

print requests.post('http://YOURTEAMCITYWEBADDRESS:YOURTEAMCITYPORT/httpAuth/app/rest/projects/id:PROJECTIDWHERENEWBUILDCONFIGSHOULDBECREATED/buildTypes', data=xml, headers=headers, auth=('TeamCityUserName','TeamCityPassword')).text

Its now possible in 8.x REST. You can do something like:

POST plain text (name) to http://teamcity:8111/httpAuth/app/rest/projects/<projectLocator>/buildTypes

Above is copied from 8.x REST. Check 8.x REST for more details.

No, it's not implemented in the REST API. Have a look at this

There is no way to create a build configuration. You can add build steps to it and configure them, but it doesn't seem to be implemented in the API at all. I was actually fighting with this myself last night. If you find a way to do it, please let me know.

Also, you could have a look at these notes I've put together concerning the Teamcity REST API. (Not that they're answering this question, but some of them could be quite useful).
